Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

After a brief rest, Zhou Yiqiao confirmed that Qing Jimeng and Lin Muzhi had not come to him, and then he entered into the state of cultivation again.

This time, he chose to practice the Ghost Fire Refining Yuan Jue.

The Ghost Fire Refining Yuan Jue is a powerful Qi-refining technique that Zhou Yiqiao obtained from the zombie predecessor. Although it has only reached the first level of perfection so far, the risks that practitioners must bear are also enormous.

First of all, because of the characteristics of the Ghost Fire Refining Yuan Jue, Zhou Yiqiao must endure the erosion of other people's evil thoughts when practicing.

This evil thought was like a raging fire, constantly burning his mind. If he was not careful, he would fall into madness.

One of the reasons why he became obsessed in the first place was because he could not withstand the erosion of these evil thoughts.

But now, Zhou Yiqiao's mentality has undergone a drastic change.

After experiencing the baptism between life and death, his fear of practicing the Ghost Fire Refining Yuan Jue has disappeared completely.

This time when he asked Lin Muzhi for resources for cultivation, he specifically asked for a lot of items that contained evil thoughts, in order to assist himself in practicing the Ghost Fire Refining Yuan Jue.

This kind of spiritual creature is sinister and poisonous, and is taboo that many righteous sects will not touch.

But for the Tianxuan Sect, a sect that has connections with most of the forces in the Tianchen Realm, it is not a rare thing.

Zhou Yiqiao sat cross-legged in the simple stone chamber, took out the spiritual objects that contained evil thoughts one by one and placed them in front of him.

"A red veil, a bellyband, two black beads, a pair of shoes and socks..."

Just by looking at the appearance of these items and the resentment contained in them, Zhou Yiqiao could even see the bloody stories hidden behind these items.

He took a deep breath, took out the Yin-Yang Lamp, closed his eyes, and began to practice the Ghost Fire Refining Yuan Jue.

The atmosphere in the stone chamber suddenly became strange, and the flames in the Yin-Yang lamps flickered, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

The things placed next to the Yin-Yang lamp suddenly floated up, surrounding the flame and slowly rotating.

"Woo..."

The wind howled, and wisps of gray mist poured out from them and merged into the Yin-Yang lamps.

The color of the flame in the Yin-Yang Lamp began to change, gradually changing from the original dark green to light gray, looking even more weird.

As the gray mist continued to pour in, the flame in the Yin-Yang Lamp began to jump, as if something was struggling inside, trying to break free and escape.

Zhou Yiqiao frowned and kept making seals with his hands to maintain the operation of the Yin-Yang Lamp.

Under such high-frequency operation, fine sweat gradually permeated his body and cold sweat also appeared on his forehead.

It was not only because the operation of the Yin-Yang Lamp brought him a huge burden, but also because of the struggles of the wronged souls coming from the Yin-Yang Lamp.

Those wronged souls had been suppressed for too long and had long lost their sanity, becoming ferocious and violent.

Under the scorching light, they kept letting out miserable screams, trying to break free from their restraints and attack Zhou Yiqiao.

Fortunately, these wronged souls only have resentment, and their cultivation has long been lost in the years of erosion.

Otherwise, with Zhou Yiqiao's current state of multitasking, he would probably have been unable to hold on.

As time passed slowly, the atmosphere in the stone chamber became increasingly depressing.

Zhou Yiqiao's clothes were soaked with sweat, but he seemed unaware of it and just stared at the Yin-Yang lamp in front of him.

Finally, at a certain moment, the flame in the Yin-Yang Lamp jumped violently, and then quickly stabilized.

The light grey flame turned back to dark green again, but the luster became even richer, as if oil could drip out of it.

The Yin-Yang Lamp completed its function and began to slowly transmit out the resentment that had eliminated most of the resentment.

Guided by Zhou Yiqiao, these spiritual energies slowly flowed into his body and began to circulate in his meridians.

The Ghost Fire Refining Essence Technique quietly began to operate, carefully guiding these resentments and turning them into pressure to strengthen the spiritual essence.

Because the Ghost Fire Refining Yuan Jue had already reached perfection, as soon as these resentments entered Zhou Yiqiao's body, it was like turning on the switch for the advancement of the Ghost Fire Refining Yuan Jue, and they began to grow rapidly.

"Boom!"

A crisp sound rang out within Zhou Yiqiao's body, and then an even more powerful aura emanated from his body.

Zhou Yiqiao broke through the second level of the Ghost Fire Refining Yuan Jue without any hindrance.

His cultivation made a qualitative leap at this moment. His already strong body was strengthened again, and his meridians became tougher, able to withstand more spiritual energy shocks.

The flame in the Yin-Yang Lamp showed no signs of dying down. Instead, it became even more vigorous as Zhou Yiqiao's cultivation level increased.

The resentment that had originally remained in the lamp seemed to have found an outlet and madly poured into Zhou Yiqiao's body.

Zhou Yiqiao knew that this was a sign that after a cultivator's skills or cultivation level had been improved, his will was in a weak state and he could be easily taken advantage of by external forces.

He did not dare to be careless at all and immediately activated the Luohou Soul-Capture Stele to strengthen his control over his own will.

Thanks to his efforts, the crazy resentment calmed down again and became the driving force for the advancement of the Ghost Fire Refining Yuan Jue.

In this way, Zhou Yiqiao maintained a fearful state and practiced for several years. Finally, he exhausted the last trace of resentment and helped to practice the Ghost Fire Refining Yuan Jue to the third level of perfection!

As the last trace of resentment dissipated, Zhou Yiqiao's body seemed to have undergone a baptism, and his whole body exuded an indescribable majesty.

His cultivation reached a whole new height at this moment. The perfection of the third level of the Ghost Fire Refining Yuan Jue made his strength have a qualitative leap.

The Yin-Yang lamps in the stone chamber have gone out, and those objects that were once filled with resentment have turned to ashes.

Zhou Yiqiao slowly opened his eyes, with a faint green light flickering in his eyes. That was the unique mark left after he practiced the Ghost Fire Refining Yuan Jue to the third level of perfection.

"The technique that allowed Senior Zombie to survive is truly miraculous. I have only raised two levels, but my cultivation has improved so much!"

He stood up and stretched his muscles. He felt his whole body full of spiritual energy. His old killing moves like the Sword of Rebirth could fill the entire sky with ease!

"However, although this Ghost Fire Refining Yuan Jue is powerful, it is also extremely difficult to practice. Especially in the later stages, the resentment required is so huge that it is unimaginable."

"Without sufficient resentment to support it, it will be difficult to make any progress in cultivation."

Zhou Yiqiao frowned and thought secretly in his heart.

According to the original plan, this much resentment would be enough for Zhou Yiqiao to advance to the fourth level of the Ghost Fire Refining Yuan Jue.

However, when he just advanced to the third level, he realized that the amount of resentment was not enough to help him go further...
